Daily Bread - September 8, 2004

But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs. And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.

I have come that you might have life and that more abundantly. I will strengthen you, for you have need of strength that you may finish what I have given you to do. Be not weary in well doing. You will reap, but you must not faint. The new strength that I am supplying will prevent you from fainting. I am supplying you with a personal revival, a revival of strength. Do not be slack concerning the things of God. I am your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Do not fear. Even if the earth be removed and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea, do not fear. Even if the waters roar and be troubled, do not fear. Even though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof, do not fear.

I am filling your life with rivers of living water. The streams of these rivers shall make you glad. They shall supply you with holiness so that my tabernacle shall be a joyful place for me to dwell. You will not be moved, for I will help you. I am helping you right now. I am with you as I promised. I am the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Be still, and know that I am God. I am exalted among the heathen and in the earth. I am the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel and of the church. Worship me in spirit and in truth. Shout unto me with the voice of triumph. Clap your hands, for I am the Lord, Most High. I am terrible. I am a great King over all the earth. I have subdued all things under you. I have given you an inheritance, for I have loved you with an everlasting love. I have gone up with a shout and with the sound of a trumpet. Now sing praises unto me, your King.

Sing praises, for I am the King of all the earth. Sing praises with understanding. I sit upon the throne of my holiness, and I am greatly exalted. Your God is great and greatly to be praised in my city, in the mountain of my holiness. Beautiful for situation is mount Zion, the joy of the whole earth. It is the city of your great King. I am building my own body in the earth. Now think on my lovingkindness and my name. According to my name, so is my praise unto the ends of the earth.

Rejoice because of my judgments. I am guiding your life with divine purpose. I have set you in a large room, and your feet shall not slip. Trust in me at all times. You have poured your heart out to me. Now I am your refuge, and in me, is your salvation. I am the rock of your strength. Be not afraid of the terrors that threaten, for you dwell in a secret place, the secret place of the Most High. You abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I am your refuge and your fortress. Trust in me. I will surely deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the noisome pestilence. I have you covered with my feathers, and under my wings, you can trust. My truth is your shield and buckler. Do not be afraid of the things that walk in the daytime or the nighttime. I have sent help from the hills of salvation. Be assured that I have done a completed work in the earth, for I am the finisher of all things. Only believe.

Amos 3: 7 - 8

Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. The lion hath roared, who will not fear? The Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy?
